Pancakes with Chocolate

Directions
Preparation:10min  ›  Cook:20min  ›  Ready in:30min 

1. In a bowl gently melt the butter for 10 seconds in the microwave and leave to cool.
2. Separate the egg then add the yolk to the cooled butter and whisk with a fork.
3. Add the egg white to the buttermilk and whisk with a fork.
4. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the sugar and then whisk in all the wet ingredients; it should be quite thick but you can add more buttermilk if necessary.
5. Heat a non stick frypan over high heat. It should be hot enough to melt the butter very quickly. Then lower the heat and use a ladle to pour some of the batter into the frypan.
6. After you begin to see the bubbles appear use an egg flip to turn it over and brown the other side. (Don't despair if the first one doesn't work, they never do a lot of the time)
7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and then continue to cook the next pancake. You shouldn't need to add any more butter to the pan.
8. Use a cutter to create shapes if you like. Otherwise place chocolate pieces on top of one warm pancake. Sandwich with another pancake. Repeat with remaining pancakes. Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.
